Preparation
Preparation
1 Preheat the oven to 400?F.
2 Coat a 13- x 9-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
3 Pat the fish dry with paper towels and arrange in the baking pan; set aside.
4 Rinse the tomatoes under warm water.
5 In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, combine the tomatoes, mustard, walnuts, chives and pepper and process until they form a coarse puree. Process again, adding enough water to make a spreadable paste about the consistency of mayonnaise.
6 Spread the top of each fillet with one-quarter of the mixture.
7 Stir the bread crumbs and cheese together then sprinkle over the fish.
8 Bake 15-18 minutes, until lightly browned and the fish is done; it should flake easily and be opaque throughout
9 Serve with lemon wedges.
